The Meera Patel series is Leena Clover’s debut work, with all five books published in 2017. The series follows Meera Patel, an Indian-American amateur detective, through mysteries with food-punned titles that riff on famous movies. Gone with the Wings, A Pocket Full of Pie, For a Few Dumplings More, and Back to the Fajitas all play on well-known film titles while incorporating food.
The series rounds out with Christmas with the Franks, adding a holiday entry to the collection. Clover established her food-focused cozy mystery style with these books, pairing culinary themes with lighthearted crime-solving.
